Hello, I'm Cassiopeia. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Quehué, but you didn't provide a source. I’ve removed it for now, but if you’d like to include a citation to a reliable source and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Cassiopeia talk 01:12, 19 January 2023 (UTC)
- Hi Cassiopeia. I translated this page from the Spanish wikipedia article (which is also light on citations). Is it better to not translate a page if there aren't citations? Or to translate and just include the note that it's pulled from Spanish wikipedia? Thanks! SilkPyjamas (talk) 01:14, 19 January 2023 (UTC)

Please be bold and help translate this article!  Operation Kraai (Operation Crow) was a Dutch military offensive against the de facto Republic of Indonesia in December 1948 after negotiations failed. With the advantage of surprise the Dutch managed to capture the Indonesian Republic's temporary capital, Yogyakarta, and seized Indonesian leaders such as de facto Republican President Sukarno. This apparent military success was however followed by guerrilla warfare, while the violation of the Renville Agreement ceasefire diplomatically isolated the Dutch, leading to the Dutch–Indonesian Round Table Conference and recognition of the United States of Indonesia.
